4 UE radio access capability parameters

The following subclauses define the UE radio access capability parameters. Only parameters for which there is thepossibility for UEs to signal different values are considered as UE radio access capability parameters. Therefore,

mandatory capabilities that are the same for all UEs are not listed here.

E-UTRAN needs to respect the signalled UE radio access capability parameters when configuring the UE and whenscheduling the UE.

4.1 UE Categories

The UE Category parameter defines a combined uplink and downlink capability. The parameters set by the UECategory are defined in subclause 4.2. Tables 4.3-1 and 4.3-2 define the downlink and, respectively, uplink physicallayer parameter values for each UE Category.

- MBSFN RS and data reception.

- 7.5 kHz sub-carrier separation for MBSFN dedicated carrier.

- Simultaneous reception of unicast and MBMS on a dedicated carrier.

A non-MBSFN capable UE behaves identically on a mixed carrier to an MBSFN-capable UE in all respects other thanthe reception of MBSFN RS and data.

Editor's note: This section will define UE requirements for the reception of MBMS. Further discussion in RAN2required to decide if any MBMS related requirements need to be signalling to the E-UTRAN as UE

capability parameters .
